Start Planning: 30 Valentine’s Day Trips to Remember

Travelling with your partner can have its ups and downs, and sometimes it can be tough to get a lot of lovely shots together! I love this image of us together; I set it up using manual adjustments on the camera, and a stranger kindly pointed and shot for me as we looked out to the famous Sigiriya Rock in Sri Lanka because I only have a small gorilla tripod. This is definitely an up moment, I loved just gazing together with my partner out at Sigiriya after hiking and scrambling to the top of nearby Pindurangala Rock. — Photo by Lou Lou B Photo on Unsplash

Love isn’t about the price tag of a present but about creating unforgettable moments together. This Valentine’s Day, transcend the predictable parade of roses and chocolates by embarking on a romantic adventure that will kindle your connection and craft memories that last far beyond a single evening. Instead of wrapping another boxed gift, unwrap an experience that speaks directly to your heart. Here are our favorite picks for getaways that transform your celebration of love into an extraordinary journey of shared discovery and memories.

Fairbanks, Alaska

If seeing the stars with your special someone sounds like the perfect romantic evening, perhaps you should take a trip to Fairbanks, Alaska. February is the ideal time to see the Northern Lights. The Aurora Borealis is on display four out of five nights at this time of year.
